The project will explore the development of a robust manufacturing route for graphene-using technologies in the UK, in order to translate the unique material properties of graphene to composite materials used in dental prostheses. This is motivated by the requirement for novel materials used in dental restorations, which are to be resistant to mechanical failure, exhibit high levels of biomimicry and bacteria-inhibiting. The project will optimise the synthesis of these materials as well as evaluate their compatibility for function in ther oral environment. A successsful project will develop technology critical to reducing the increasing level of global edentulism as well as being transferrable to a further range of applications in the wider medical and materials science fields.

该项目将探索在英国发展石墨烯使用技术的强大制造路线，以便将石墨烯独特的材料特性转化为用于牙科修复体的复合材料。这是出于对用于牙齿修复的新型材料的需求，这些材料要能抵抗机械故障，表现出高水平的仿生学和细菌抑制。该项目将优化这些材料的合成，并评估它们在口腔环境中的功能兼容性。一个成功的项目将开发出对减少日益增加的全球牙补现象至关重要的技术，并可转移到更广泛的医学和材料科学领域的进一步应用。
